Ensures you have enough daylight to pitch your tent and get your camp situated

Less stress Its really no fun to try and set up

camp in the dark – we’ve tried and you don’t want to do it!

Have full day to enjoy Why get to your campsite just to

go to sleep? You might as well stay home, sleep in your own bed, then head out early the next morning

Bring extra layers even in the summer

Nighttime temperatures can drop unexpectedly

Better to have an extra layer or two than try to sleep in the cold

It gets darker than you can imagine away from city lights

The more lumens you have, the better – aim for over 1,000 lumens between all of your light sources to properly light your campsite Propane lanterns are generally right

around 900-1000 lumens. A propane lantern and a second tent lantern should be enough to be comfortable.

If using LED lanterns aim for at least 3 to spread around your campsite.

Flashlights are a must. Headlamps are even better. Nighttime trips to the restroom Late night walks or in case a return

hike takes longer than anticipated and you get caught in the dark

Pocket Knife No man should ever be

without a pocket knife, even on a day-to-day basis. More so when camping as you’d be surprised how often this little tool will come in handy.

Ax Great for creating tinder or

for breaking down larger pieces of firewood

Rubber Mallet Perfect for staking your tent.

Harder tools (like your ax) can be used but may break your stakes.

Your tent is your living room and bedroom so why not keep it as clean as possible? Remove your shoes before entering

Close your tent screen as soon as possible when entering or exiting to keep out bugs

Keep a small broom and dust pan inside to sweep any stray dirt or leaves.

Lock all valuables in your trunk Tents don’t provide much security when you’re away

from camp

Place loose food items in your car overnight Squirrels, raccoons, and other furry woodland creatures

(including bears) will try to get at your food if you leave it out in the open

The secret to a great camping trip is preparation and planning Plan activities so you’re not sitting

around bored Plan all meals so you know exactly

what you need to bring Prepare for any emergencies that

might occur Bring extra clothes Bring a first aid kit Bring extra food and water Bring extra paper towels and trash

bags
